How many signings this week?

One. Medical on Friday morning and signed on the dotted line on the same day at precisely 4.46pm.
 
Darmian, Schneiderlin and Otamendi to sign before we leave on tour. Never seen Darmian play so can't comment on that but I'll be delighted with the other two.

Yeah... this is frustrating.

I mean what happened to getting all our business done early so the players could travel with us and get bedded in :(.
 
I would be glad to wrap up the Schneiderlin deal. The Ramos story will go on for a while but I do not really expect it to happen.
Darmian would be great as well.

If we end up having signed Memphis, Schneiderlin and Darmian it will be a good summer. Not the spectacular names some might hope for but all of them seem to have a lot of potential and would solve our biggest problems.
 
Don't really want more than three signings - just too difficult to integrate them into the team. So that would be Memphis, Darmian and either Kramer or Schneiderlin. The exceptions would be a keeper if DDG goes and possibly a young CB if we don't think McNair/Blackett are sufficient as backups (assuming Evans is going to go).
 
Just got an image of Woodward using his Credit card to pay for players. "Would you like a receipt with your Schneiderlin?, we are having a sale on Garay's and Gaitan's again this year"
Won't be surprised if he is and his transactions are getting declined.
 
I'm guessing Schneiderlin and Darmian will be done.

I'm living in hope more than expectation though.
 
Sadly 0.

I was expecting it to have happened already this week. What the fudge are you doing Woody, he offered Southampton 20m??? It's quite obvious to me that's not enough by at least 4m, 4 ruddy million? We can break records and have enough money for Bale and all our other targets according to Ed. We are not going to get anyone for anything less than what the selling club think he is worth and may now need to overpay in most cases. We should have stuck with Fergies no value in the market line.

I love and/or hate transfer windows, I'm not sure which right now.
 
Putting my reputation on the line and saying 1.
 
Darmian and Schneiderlin, together with Depay whom we've already signed.
And maybe we could also get Ramos, Schweinsteiger and Otamendi soon...
And perhaps, perhaps we could also sign Bale, Kane and De Gea (renew contract) by end of this window :drool:
 
I'm going to guess 1 - either Schneiderlin or Darmian, with the other to happen next week and any others (Ramos, Schweinsteiger, Kane, etc) to drag onto the end of August, if they happen at all
My prediction is still looking good at this point.
 
This illustrates why 2 or 3 is ridiculous... as far as we were concerned this was done and dusted at 9am, but it's still not gone through.

I think it will, but it shows how bloody slow we are. My prediction is now 1 - Darmian.
Ok, I can see you take the casino by storm every night.
 
I'm amazed we haven't bothered to tie up Schneiderlin by now so that he definitely goes on tour with us, given that he'll be such an important part of the team this season.

Actually, I'm not really amazed - it's what I've come to expect. Woodward talks about "unlimited funds" then haggles a deal to death.

"Just cause you hung like a horse you need to act in porno's"

Heard that in a movie...can't remember which one though.
 
Harold and Kumar:lol: it's actually a moose in the movie (anw practically no difference)

I reckon Darmian will be signed today or tomorrow. Schneiderlin will drag on even further, it just doesn't seem to be close to completion.
